SAG-AFTRA President message 'Ads Go Union' 2019

Dear Roscoe, (SAG-AFTRA member 10185409)

"I am so proud to see the extraordinary work and solidarity our members displayed during the Screen Actors Guild Awards this past Sunday (Jan. 27, 2019) and I thank all of you for your contributions. From voting for the recipients to watching the show together at our locals’ viewing parties, your contributions and your work are what make our union the best in the world."

"There is one incredibly important video that I think every member should see. During the show, member and SAG Award winner J.K. Simmons delivered a special address urging all our members to join in supporting the Ads Go Union campaign."

"Our effort to preserve and grow union commercial work through Ads Go Union, which also includes the strike against ad agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH), Inc., has tremendous momentum. In addition to J.K., high-profile members including Bryan Cranston, DulĂ© Hill and Jazmyn Simon, Colton Dunn, Henry Winkler, the cast of 'Grey’s Anatomy' including Jason George, James Pickens, Chandra Wilson and Kim Raver; Patrick Fabian, Laverne Cox and my former cast-mates on 'Beverly Hills, 90210', have all recorded videos of support." 

"You can help, too. Check out our #StrikeBBH toolkit. Just login to your SAG-AFTRA web account and download it from the BBH Strike Center."

Strength in Unity -- Gabrielle Carteris
